Just finished Week 6

Hey All….

I just completed week 6. I can’t believe I am still doing P90X with all the vim and vigor of week 1.

I must say, I was feeling a little more reluctant than usual because I was going away to New York a little mini vacation. Who wants to exercise on vacation?

But I did it and actually doubled up on my exercises today. It was a strategy so that I could have 2 days off. I need the rest.

I did eat a little out of control while I was away, had a slice of pizza (gotta have that when  you are in NY) and had some candy. But I didn’t have the usual hot dog or pretzel even though I was DYING for some but I did indulge in a dessert. It had fruit on it but I didn’t eat the whole thing.

I am little worried though because I am in the justification stage or my journey. I always get there sometime somewhere where the old me starts peeking through. The one with the excuses, the one with the justifications. I am looking for support online, blogging more, looking at fitness magazines but when the alarm goes off in the morning, I am lacking the jumping out of bed feeling to work it out.

But I will just continue to press play and just take it one day at a time. I am a perfectionist so that;s what keeps me not missing a day.

Wish me luck.

Day 27 or 28 - hmmm

It’s midnight.

I guess I musta lost count of the days.

This is my rest day and my last day of week 4 so wouldn’t that be Day 28 if I haven’t missed a day of P90X?

Where did the days go?

So here is how I feel.

Kudos to me.

1) I got up every morning and in partnership with the sun, I rose and worked out each day starting at 5:30am. I don’t normally wake up that early only to catch planes in a coma-toast state.

2) I BROUGHT it every day.

3) I kept track every day where there were weights involved.

4) I committed to the process

5) I adjusted so that I didn’t kill myself or my back.

6) I looked for support and got it and of course in Spa chick style - gave support.

7) I got more flexible by the 4th week of Yoga X. I can do the pretzel twist.

I pampered myself at least 2 x during the process with massage.

9) I ate well every day and when I didn’t made up for it the next day. Most importantly - I didn’t beat myself up. Took vitamins every day.

10) I added extra exercise to my repertoire.

My goals for next month

1) Get more rest

Hmmm let me get started now.

Good night it’s 12:14am

Wish me luck on Phase 2 - Week 5 of P90X. I love it.

Day 25 - Stttttrreeetttcchhhh

Okay I am all stretched out.

Bring on Week 5.

I need to sweat.

I need to pump iron.

My rings are feeling looser. Yippee.

I must be losing inches and redefining.

5 days until my next pix.

Day 21 and the start of Week 4- Yoga - Still Hatin’ It.

Here I am starting Week 4 and I didn’t even break a sweat.

This P90 Yoga.

I swear, here I am thinking that I am getting stronger and I’m getting weaker.

Emotionally it’s a let down because I bring on the sweat on the other days.

I know I can’t sweat it up all the time because I have to stretch my muscles but geez, I want to feel as though I am getting stronger. I’m not there yet.

I will continue to keep “pressing play” because I am not the expert.

Tomorrow = Core. Have never done this so….

Wish me luck!

PS: I am so proud of myself today. At this hotel a delicious (looking) chocolate bar was waiting for me. I asked if I could switch it for something more nutritious. And yunno, they let me do it!

Day 20 already? =P90X

Well, tomorrow is my rest day and it will be Day 21 of my quest on P90X.

I was going to rest today and do Legs and Back tomorrow (Sunday), but it was 5:30am and I was up so I said hell why not. I was also planning on going on a walk to visit the Washington, DC embassies so what kinda break was that going to be. So I said, let’s make it a Power Day. Then I can rest all day on Sunday and plan for me week.

I’ve gotta think of something different for lunch this week. It is my “recovery week or whatever they call it. All I know is I have to do yoga not just once but twice - yuck!!! I absolutely have no strength in my arms - yet.

So wish me luck!
